10 Things I learned After Joining Tinder (Again)

Two words. Dick pics.

So I recently just got out of a long-term relationship and decided to join tinder (again). I've learned quite a few things since I've re-joined, but here are my top 10 things I've learned after joining tinder.

1. No bio? No swipe right. It's simple. People like to know things about you, and if you have no bio, I am to assume you have no personality either.

2. Don't give people your Snapchat unless you have already met them. If you give someone your Snapchat- expect a picture or two of their private eye. Honestly, guys are ruthless, and they have no shame in sending an unsolicited wei.

3. Please at least have one stand-alone photo of yourself. If all of your photos are with more than one person, I'm not going to take the time to try and play detective and guess which one you are. (I will always assume you are not the cutest one in the photo)

4. Sometimes, people on tinder don't just want to hook up. I've met quite a few people who only want to get to know you or take you out. It's refreshing knowing that not everyone only wants to sleep around

5. But, there are also people who only want to hook up and never talk to you again. Whichever you prefer, be safe while doing it.

6. Guys love cheesy pick up lines. Anyone who's used tinder knows that pick up lines are a staple. "Were your parents caveman because they made fire with you 🔥😍", was my most recent one. They're fun and can be a good conversation starter.

7. DO NOT SWIPE IN YOUR HOMETOWN. If you are someone who doesn't use tinder all that often you'll be fine. But if you like to use it a lot and you go home for the summer, you will 100% match with someone you went to high school with- and that's just weird.

8. It's even weirder if you match with an old fling. Do they remember you? This could start something all over again. Avoid avoid avoid.

Giphy


9. If you're going to hook up with someone from tinder, make sure they are who they say they are. Common sense I know, but you can never be too sure ya know.

Giphy


10. Finally, if you are someone who's serious about finding someone, make sure you are clear about that from the beginning. Your bio should include you're looking for something serious from the get-go.




Tinder is a fun way to get to know people and potentially meet someone. In my opinion, I'd rather meet someone another way- but it's fun to swipe right here and there.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
